A Michigan resident has unexpectedly struck it rich, landing a $1 million prize from a Mega Millions lottery draw. The winning ticket, as reported by CBS News Detroit, was purchased at a Shell gas station situated at 37820 Green St., New Baltimore. While there were no takers for the Mega Millions jackpot this past Tuesday, the Michigan player became the first in the state to claim the $1 million Match 5 prize in 2025.
In the words of Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli, as quoted by multiple sources, "A Michigan Lottery player is starting the new year off with a big boost to their bank account after winning $1 million in last night's Mega Millions drawing!" This sentiment was echoed across both MI Lottery Connect and WWJ Newsradio.
The turn of the year appears to have ushered in good fortune for at least one lucky Michigan lottery enthusiast. The winner matched the five white balls, numbered 20-24-33-39-48, which bore the promise of a seven-figure sum. As per the reports, the ticket holder must reach out to the Lottery’s Player Relations division by dialing 844-917-6325 to claim their winnings within the stipulated time of one year from the date of the drawing.
